In another tweet, he wrote: “Talking on the behalf of all doctors and health workers.. we are really working hard away from our family.. sometimes a foot away from a positive patient, sometimes an inch away from critically ill oldies… I request please go for vaccination.. it’s the only solution! Stay safe.”
